I have seen what a lot of med students/residents have gone through from the outside looking in, and I do not envy them. At the same time though they get to do something they are passionate about, so good for them.

UofS is working on a huge expansion to their health sciences department, you might want to look into that as I am sure there will be a lot of opportunities in the near future.

Also, be prepared to move. You might be lucky enough to do Med school in Van, but you will be in tough to do any type of specialty near your home. A few of the residents I know are originally from Van, and are moving out East for a few years very soon as well to complete it.

You also have zero choice in this matter, you can apply where ever you want, but where you get accepted, and then moved, is completely out of your hands. If you can't deal with that fact then you should re think this. I say this because I have watched it torture more than a few people first hand.

But as far as being old, not even close brahski. You have all the time in the world, I didn't finish my undergrad until I was 25. You will be fine.
